From, originally, on my friends' list at least, buffyannotater:

Here are the rules: Answer all the questions with the song titles of one band/group/artist. Multiple albums are fine (recommended, in fact). State the band/group/artist you're using in the subject line. Perty simple.

Use songs whose titles answer the question, not songs whose lyrics do. Not all of us know these songs, so it's not as fun.

Covers are NOT legit unless it is on a normal (non-live) CD.

For a true 10 questions challenge, do this without the aid of the internet/CDs/outside sources.

1. Are you male or female?: "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man"
2. Describe yourself: "Baby I'm A Star"
3. How do some people feel about you?: "Why You Want To Treat Me So Bad"
4. How do you feel about yourself?: "U Got The Look"
5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend/interest: "Another Lonely Christmas"
6. Where would you rather be?: "Alphabet St."
7. Describe what you want to be: "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker"
8. Describe how you live: "Computer Blue"
9. Describe how you love: "Shy" (erstwhily "International Lover")
10. Share a few words of wisdom: You know, I'm actually drawing a blank on drawing wisdom from Prince song titles. Lyrics, sure, but titles? Uhhh . . . "Let's Go Crazy"?

Also from buffyannotater, and more interactive, try to determine my favorite:

1) Television drama
2) Television comedy
3) Movie
4) Band
5) Novel (I'm going to accept any of three for this)
6) Painter
7) Pie

Good luck!

I have a vague recollection of you talking about your favorite pie at the restaurant we went to on the wine tour, but I don't recall your selection. Pizza pie from Zachary's maybe?

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

I realized after posting this that "Deep dish pie from Zachary's with pepperoni, onion and garlic" might be a better answer to number seven than the one I intended! I did indeed spend a fair amount of a gathering talking about my favorite dessert-type pie, but it wasn't the Tahoe gathering.

[ann1962]

::knows flist:: I am glad that vague recollection might be from some gathering.

Yesterday I was perusing my memories of the Tahoe gathering, and you state somewhere about me making you a Zachary pizza icon. I googled images of that pizza right after I read that comment, but never got around to actually making the icon. Hence I was able to use that info now. ;-)

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

I figure the more I actually post, the greater the inevitability of my receiving spontaneous icons. It's something to aim for, anyway.

ohhhhhh I believe you have that one. I was racking my brain--apple, not peach certainly d'H has a higher use for peaches, chocolate? I don't ever remember seeing him eat pie. But garlic and pepperoni deep dish from Zachery's. Yep, that's got to be it.

[ladystarlightsj.livejournal.com]

1) Ummm. Homicide? (Since Buffy is hard to classify and all....)

2) Arrested Development

3) Serenity (Okay, probably not...)

4) Sly & the Family Stone

5) Pride & Predjudice

6) I see you as a Pollock man

7) Pecan?

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

Sly & the Family Stone is correct! Congratulations!

1 is very, very close, but wrong. I've never seen even an episode of Arrested Development (but I feel obligated to see the one with Munch). I do love Pride & Prejudice, but it's a recent love, without the sort of long-term affection that would accomplany favorite status. Besides, I doubt it's even my favorite Jane Austen novel.

[ladystarlightsj.livejournal.com]

Yay, I got one right! Go me! heh.

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

You should be very proud of yourself!

I'm pretty sure Le vicomte de Bragelonne ranks up there as one of your top 3 books.

And just because he was in the news recently as a result of Google getting fresh with his style, I'll guess Miró for #6. But it could just as well be El Greco, knowing you...

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Le vicomte de Bragelonne ranks up there as one of your top 3 books.

One would think so, from the trappings and all, but I think rereading is the surest sign of love for these book, and having so recently (well, five or six years ago) plowed through the 2,500 pages of Le vicomte I have felt the urge but not yet the need to do so again.

I do love Miro, but he is not the painter of whom I was thinking.

TV Drama--Homicide
Novel--Don Quixote
Pie--Peanut Butter pie from Two Boots

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

Wrong. Wrong. Right!! Finally, someone who pays attention! Or ate at Two Boots the day before yesterday. With my ex-girlfriend. Whom I addicted to that pie.

[randomways.livejournal.com]

I have no idea about any of them, but insofar as the novesl go, if you're not a Tom Wolfe/Thomas Pynchon fan, I'm going to be disillusioned. You have that...aura.

Or maybe White Noise, even if I've never understood its appeal.

Next up: you declare your undying devotion to Disney's "Aristocats." Right? Right?

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

I never finished White Noise. I enjoyed The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. I was underwhelmed by The Crying of Lot 49 (a dastardly conspiracy to deliver the mail?) but was enraptured with Mason & Dixon. But I've left bookmarks in both Vineland and Gravity's Rainbow. I do in fact love the Aristocats. It's not the right answer (the 70's Disney movie that would really contend would be Robin Hood).

[deadsoul820.livejournal.com]

1. The Shield

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

That is not the right answer, but y'all are on the right track with the cop shows.

[deadsoul820.livejournal.com]

Please be to hinting?

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

Reach back into the far reaches of time . . .

Ok, not that far back.

[deadsoul820.livejournal.com]

Hill Street Blues?

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[deadsoul820.livejournal.com]

Yay me!
